[Resolved] Amend the WPForm label in English

Hello,

Yes, the field labels or IDs should stay equal between forms.

Is your form not showing up as translated?

If the form was created in English, then this is the original content and if the original gets edited, you will need to update the translations.

Actually, you should only need to translate the form with String Translation in rare cases, like for example for sub-labels of form fields.

Our Add-on WPForms Multilingual allows translating the forms with WPML > Translation Management, which means that all strings of the form should be translatable inside the WPML Translation Editor.

Please read this documentation:

Hello,

If any original content is edited and a translation for this content exists, then WPML will expect the translation to receive an update.

In this state, the translation will stay as they are but the translation's status symbol will change and WPML will let you know that you should update the translation.

More details about the symbols here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/#translation-icons

When it comes to WPForms you will see the status of the translation at WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard while switching to the WPForms post type on the dropdown field on the top left.

Does this not work as expected in your example?

Hello,

I see that Translation Management is not able to find any WPForms with default language English on your site, which is unexpected unless the forms were created while having a different site default language in WPML.

Could you please check if you find the forms when changing the language filter on WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard with the selection of post-type WPForms?

Hello,

I am not sure what went wrong here, but not any WPML troubleshooting options were able to solve this issue.

When I first went to the Translation Management Dashboard I only saw one English form.

Not even opening the forms and saving them again was able to solve the issue on Translation Management.

The only and maybe fastest way to make the other forms available here was by duplicating the other forms, but this would also include that you change the forms on Frontend, as duplicating creates a new form ID.

I hope this is an applicable solution for the Translation Management issue. Then please complete the form translations with the WPML Translation Editor.

If you still run into untranslated strings after that, please let me know.

Best regards

Hello,

I understand, but the forms are not supposed to be translated with String Translation.

Apart from that, you are using quite many WPForms Addons and it could be that at least one of them is not yet compatible with WPML.

In fact, it is important that the forms are translated with Translation Management by using the WPML Translation Editor, as this is the recommended workflow and this is what our addon WPForms Multilingual is designed for.

Please read this documentation:
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/creating-multilingual-forms-using-wpforms-and-wpml/

I would really like to suggest again translating the forms with Translation Management and verifying if this solves the issue(s).

Further, I can also offer to provide a test site on which you could install all used WP Forms plugins and import the forms for testing. Please let me know if this would be in your interest.

Best regards
Andreas
